I certainly hope I'm not still answering child-star questions by the time I reach menopause.
I come from one of these hideous backgrounds where being sincere is like - ugh, you might as well kill yourself.
I find the less attention I pay to food, the healthier I am.
This life that I've led has been really well suited for me.
Unless it's a specific accent, or something about physicality you have to change, I am generally not such a conscious actor.
Real tears are not those that fall from the eyes and cover the face, but those that fall from the heart and cover the soul.
I would love to fly privately, but unfortunately, I don't. I don't summer anywhere either.
I've been looking to do TV for a while. I've always done guest starring stuff. I've done a couple of multi-episode arcs, and I've always loved the experience.
The whole growing-up process seems to have eluded me
If I hadn't gone into acting, I would have been one of those weird runaways on Hollywood Boulevard. No, it'd be uglier. I'd probably be dead.
I'm so glad I'm not 20 years old anymore. I was in a hurricane. I'm a lot calmer now. I don't cause destruction for myself and others everywhere I go.
I’m not going to let my insecurities keep me from having a good time. I think that if you don’t loose your self-consciousness, you can’t really be present in a situation. For example, if you’re at The Louvre, but you’re thinking about how much you hate your jeans, you’re not really at The Louvre. So in your memory, when you look back, you’re always going to be like, “I was wearing those jeans I hated”. And you’re not going to remember anything else.
If anyone ever saw me dance, they'd have trouble taking me seriously.
We have so much pride in welcoming these passengers onto the plane, and they have so much pride in travel. It's something that I definitely always remember, when I'm playing a scene on the plane, just to imbue everything with that sense of excitement.
